SCORES: We will be using theNEW NOVELLO edition – PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN COPIES. If you already have the OLD NOVELLO edition, you should be able to work with that – but be aware that there are some word changes in the final chorus so find a NEW edition to compare,and edit accordingly. Robert is also making some cuts as follows:

Suggested clothing for the performance is smart black but not DJs. A flash of blue would be acceptable!

Refreshments: As the schedule is so tight singers might like to bring a thermos with them – In the afternoon the orchestra (who play for nothing) will be given tea but there is not enough time to serve tea to singers as well! – N.B. there will be no break during the morning rehearsal. There are many cafes and restaurants nearby where singers can find something to eat at lunchtime, and before the performance. Information about these will be available on the day for those who come from afar.

Parking: For singers coming from out of town, parking nearby is not easy and we would recommend using the Park and Ride facility. Singers based in Oxford are strongly advised to come either on foot, or by bicycle or on public transport. If you are coming into Oxford by car please allow sufficient time for parking.
